1The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. 2And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.2.2 established: or, prepared 3And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 4And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.2.4 pruninghooks: or, scythes 5O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
6¶ Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.2.6 from…: or, more than the2.6 please…: or, abound with the 7Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots: 8Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: 9And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
10¶ Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty. 11The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. 12For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: 13And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, 14And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, 15And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, 16And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.2.16 pleasant…: Heb. pictures of desire 17And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. 18And the idols he shall utterly abolish.2.18 he…: or, shall utterly pass away 19And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.2.19 of the earth: Heb. of the dust 20In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;2.20 his idols of silver…: Heb. the idols of his silver, etc2.20 each…: or, for him 21To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. 22Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
主必統治萬邦
1亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞看到以下有關猶大和耶路撒冷的異象。
2在末後的日子，耶和華殿所在的山必聳立，
高過群山，超過萬嶺，
萬族都要湧向它。
3眾民都必來，說：
「來吧！讓我們登耶和華的山，
去雅各之上帝的殿。
祂必將祂的路指示給我們，
使我們走祂的道。」
因為訓誨必出於錫安，
耶和華的話語必來自耶路撒冷。
4祂必在各國施行審判，
為列邦平息紛爭。
他們必將刀劍打成犁頭，
把矛槍製成鐮刀。
國與國不再刀兵相見，
人們不用再學習戰事。
5雅各家啊，來吧！
讓我們走在耶和華的光中。
耶和華審判的日子
6耶和華啊，你離棄了你的子民——雅各的後裔，
因為他們當中充滿了東方的惡俗，
像非利士人一樣占卜，
跟外族人同流合污。
7他們境內金銀遍地，
財寶無窮；
他們境內馬匹充裕，
戰車無數。
8他們境內偶像林立，
他們跪拜自己用手所造的物品，
跪拜自己用指頭所造之物。
9他們必遭羞辱和貶抑。
耶和華啊，
求你不要赦免他們。
10要躲進岩穴，藏入地洞，
逃避耶和華的憤怒和威榮！
11到那日，狂妄的人將被挫敗，
驕傲的人將遭貶抑；
唯獨耶和華將受尊崇。
12因為萬軍之耶和華已定了日子，
要懲罰一切驕傲狂妄和自高自大的人，
使他們淪為卑賤；
13祂必毀滅黎巴嫩高大的香柏樹和巴珊的橡樹，
14毀滅一切崇山峻嶺，
15毀滅高聳的城樓和堅固的城牆，
16毀滅他施的商船和一切華美的船隻。
17到那日，狂妄的人必被挫敗，
驕傲的人必遭貶抑，
唯獨耶和華受尊崇。
18偶像必被徹底剷除。
19耶和華使大地震動的時候，
眾人躲進岩穴，藏入地洞，
逃避祂的憤怒和威榮。
20到那日，眾人必把造來敬拜的金銀偶像丟給田鼠和蝙蝠。
21耶和華使大地震動的時候，
眾人必躲進山洞和岩縫，
逃避祂的憤怒和威榮。
22不要再倚靠世人，
他們的生命不過是一口氣，
他們有什麼值得稱道的呢？
